SuperHeroHype has reported that 20th Century Fox are planning to make three movies in Montreal over the next year, one of which would be a live action take on the popular manga Dragonball Z!

The 20th Century Fox studio is expected to shoot three big-budget movies in Montreal over the next year; each has a budget of at least $100 million. The films are the Night at the Museum sequel Another Night, Independence Day director Roland Emmerich’s remake of the sci-fi flick Fantastic Voyage and a big-screen adaptation of the Japanese manga Dragonball Z.

Dragonball Z is adapted from the manga created by Akira Toriyama; the work was also turned into a Japanese anime series that played all over the world. It tells the story of an alien sent to destroy Earth, who has a change of heart and decides to join the humans in their fight against various aliens and bad guys

OK, so I can accept a sequel to A Night At The Museum. I can even deal with a remake of Fantastic Journey. But a live action take on Dragonball Z?? Even as a fan of the original cartoons I cannot imagine that being anything but painful to watch! While it might work brilliantly as a cartoon as a live action movie?? Why do I suddenly have the horrible image of the Jean-Claude Van Damme starring Street Fighter running through my brain?
